I am almost 99.9% sure it is a Halltech turbo car. The oil feed and dump are routed just like mine.

The wastegates stuck open and engine went to 30lbs boost. I believe was a stock(non-forged)engine.

So what is the big secret behind this. Why no answer to the teasing pics? Nobody really cares who's car it was (past tense), just want to know what caused it, where the car was or doing at the time? Come on, no more suspense. We need answers, we need the truth!
